1013. The probability of a man hitting a target is $1 fourth.$ He fires 7 times. What is the probability of his hitting at least twice the target?

Here n = 7
$straight p space equals 1 fourth comma space space straight q space equals space 1 minus straight p space equals space 1 minus 1 fourth space equals space 3 over 4$
P(hitting at least twice) = 1 - [P(0) + P(1)]
